The word as territory: inclusive uses and excluding uses

The debates around the so-called inclusive language were not only installed in academic spaces where the uses of the language are investigated and analyzed, but –and perhaps, above all– in tabletops, cafes and in corridors of all kinds of institutions.

The discussion is not settled. It continues to make headlines when some known person or entity insist on issuing on the subject. In particular, against its use. In this short essay we recover quotes of some of those fervent opponents, among which are the successive directors of the RAE, in contrast to the inexcusable need –Cortázar dixit– that the words we use accompany our struggles and conquests. We reflect, from there and with the help of the sciences of language, about the real conditions of the alleged solidity or purity of the language, in tension with the events and components of social life, particularly in recent decades in our country, with the desire to think about how much words de-sign or cover, and how much we did –and we still have to do– so that no one takes away the right to be named. Los debates en torno al denominado lenguaje inclusivo no solo se fueron instalando en espacios académicos donde se investigan y analizan los usos de la lengua, sino –y quizás, sobre todo– en sobremesas, cafés y en pasillos de toda clase de instituciones. La discusión no está saldada. Continúa ocupando titulares cuando algún personaje o entidad insiste en expedirse sobre el tema. En particular, en contra de su uso. En este breve ensayo recuperamos citas de algunos de esos fervientes opositores, entre los que se cuentan los sucesivos directores de la RAE, en contraste con la necesidad inexcusable –Cortázar dixit– de que las palabras que usamos acompañen nuestras luchas y conquistas. Reflexionamos, desde allí y con auxilio de las ciencias del lenguaje, acerca de las condiciones reales de la pretendida solidez o pureza del idioma, en tensión con los sucesos y componentes de la vida social, particularmente de las últimas décadas en nuestro país, con el ánimo de pensar acerca de cuánto las palabras de-signan o en-cubren, y cuánto hicimos –y tenemos que hacer, todavía– para que nadie nos quite el derecho a ser nombrades.
